I guess I could have done

found the finish with 2 min left,
so just wrote it down.
missed this for 22 though:

I tried the 9 move eo for a while without
finding anything good before I extended it.

(R' U2 B D' L')     // eo (5/5)
(R2 F' R2 U)        // dr (4/9) 3q2c

found this leave slice in 21 with 1 min left
so did not write it down in time. It gave 22:

(R' U2 B D' L')             // eo (5/5)
(D2 R2 F' R2 U)             // dr (5/10) 3q2c
L2 B' (R2 D2 F L2 F')       // htr (7/17)
(U2 D2 F2 R2)               // ls (4/21)

+1 to solved.

I wish I switched after L2 B earlier,
should have found this 21 after it:

L2 F R2 L2 F2 U2 B' L2 F' D2 R2 (11)

U F D L B           // eo (5/5)
L2 U' R2 B2 D R     // dr (6/11)
(U B2 U L2 F2 D)    // htr (6/17)
(R2 F2 U2 F2 U2)    // ls (5/22)

+1 to solved

missed optimal from dr by 1, not good.
I briefly checked the htr, but did not find
the 6 move to leave slice that cancelled 1
with normal.

R2 U2 R2 F2 R2 L2 U F2 R2 U' R2 D' (12)

(L) U' F' R                     // eo (4/4)

Missed optimal from dr by 2 moves, not good.
First time I have had success with
adding "random" premoves to a short eo though.

this was the only not terrible

tried this for quite some time:

how did I not find this finish???

F2 U' B2 U' L2 D F2 D2 L2 B2 D2 R2 (12)

I wrote the following:

F2 D' R2 D' R2 D' R2 F2 R2 // ls+2e

but just doing D2 B2 U2 L2 B2 D2 R2 leads to the ls...

bad time management

this dr with this finish gives 21 (how would one find this?):

U' D F2 R2 F2 R2 U D R' D2 R' U2

I guess you could switch, like I did,
and then look at the UD-axis to see a kind of
square square 2e2e-thingy?


I also checked this dr:

U R' U' F'      // eo (4/4)
R' L2 D' R D2 R // dr (6/10) 2q4c4e

which has a 22, but I did not find that...

mallard finds 21 from this eo, with an extension of the dr:
